Hi again. The general sentiment about this update is NOT VERY GOOD as you are probably aware. The main purpose was to bring back the queue but reduce the effectiveness of day trading and pump and dump schemes, which were rampant issues when the site first launched. Clearly our numbers were way off to start, leading people to believe that daily adjustments are no longer a viable trading strategy upon seeing the extreme volatility of the broker cycles. However this is not the case, was never intended to be the case, and we will ensure it will not be the case going forward. We are currently working on several small updates to bring the game back to where it should be.
To answer a few questions:
>Isn't the market way too volatile? That's like $10/ transaction, its only 1/4th as bad, you can't even make money anymore from adjustments!
This is a made up figure by some random anons. Pay no attention. This figure isn't static for all stocks, the magnitude of the adjustments is dynamic. We will ensure that trading on adjustments is a viable strategy for gaining capital however, regardless of its magnitude.
>Why didn't they add anything COOL for this update like options and shorts?
I assure you lots of very cool things are coming, but our priority was to fix what we believed was a broken system that had a band-aid on it. We are four devs working on this in our free time, time must be rationed appropriately.
Anyways, if you believe this free game made for our enjoyment is no longer worth your time and/ or is causing you stress, we are sorry to see you go. But know that we hear you and good things are on their way.
